The latest story

Every year Overseas Council Australia invites visiting scholars and students to come to Australia. This provides you and all our donors with the opportunity to hear first-hand about the work they are involved in.

Typically these events fall twice yearly, in March and October. The first is our Speakers Program and the second our Annual Dinner Series.

Earlier this year we had the pleasure of welcoming Dr Havilah Dharamraj, Academic Dean at South Asian Institute for Advanced Christian Studies (SAIACS), India, as guest for the 2017 Speakers Program. SAIACS is a key OCA partner in India and Havilah has an important role in shaping the college as part of the senior leadership. Havilah is a frequent speaker at international evangelical theological conferences and it was a great blessing to have her with us.

Our Annual Dinner series this year will be held during November, and will feature a celebration of our 30th Anniversary. Our Executive Director Rev Dr Stuart Brooking will be sharing on the ministry of OCA, it's growth over the last 30 years and our vision for the future.

Theological Students

OCA supports men and women who preach and teach the redeeming love of Jesus. Our sponsored students minister to widows and orphans, seek justice for their communities and become leaders in their nations.

Faculty and Scholars

The aim of OCA faculty grants is not just to provide people with degrees. Rather, it is to help key people in the Bible college have space to think through matters of the Bible in their particular context.
